CPFL Ratio was marginally negative Wednesday by 1.36 to 1 and indicator remains in short to intermediate term negative trend.

Cumulative Volume (CV) in both S&P 500 cash index and S&P 500 Emini futures remains above last Friday’s lows, but is still in negative short-term trend.

Market Overview – What We Think:

Wednesday’s early session price weakness and subsequent recovery could prove to be “test” of last Friday’s possible short-term low (1291.98—S&P 500) following net weakness after April 22 short-term high (1422.38).

If May 18 low was bottom of Minor Cycle decline within context of lingering Intermediate Cycle negative, any Minor Cycle retracement of recent losses should prove to be short-lived. Strength would probably do little more than erase “Oversold” readings prior to resetting market for another down leg on Intermediate Cycle.

Best guess on how far entire intermediate negative could ultimately carry would be 1283-1213 if “normal” 40% to 60% pullback develops.

Since majority of our key indicators did not confirm market strength into recent highs, more selling could ultimately bring market pricing into line with negative indicator divergences.
